Fragments of varying size from the same papyrus roll as Papyrus 133, with blank space of about 300 mm to separate the texts and in a different hand; Papyrus 133 is the continuation; broken off at the beginning, and written on one side along the fibres, with the back blank. Each sheet forming the roll is about 180 mm wide. There remain 9 complete columns, and portions from other columns, very fragmentary; each column measures150 x 43 mm and has 26 to 28 lines, with an average of 17 letters per line; lines begin progressively further to the left (Mass’s Law); the intercolumn measures about 10 mm, the upper margin 35 mm, and the lower c.50 mm. The papyrus is mounted on cardboard in two glass frames named Papyrus 134(1), and Papyrus 134(2).

Papyrus 134(1): fragments of varying size;

Papyrus 134(2): few holes and breaks in places, overall well preserved; 9 columns, complete; upper, lower and right margin extant.

Fragments of a papyrus roll of small format, written on one side along the fibres, with the back being blank. The fragments are mounted on cardboard in eight glass cases named Papyrus 135(1), Papyrus 135(2), Papyrus 135(3), Papyrus 135(4), Papyrus 135(5), Papyrus 135(6), Papyrus 135(7), and Papyrus 135(8). 46 columns, more or less complete, survive. The column height is 80-85 mm, with each column having 15 to 19 lines. The upper and lower margins measure 20 mm and 25 mm respectively; the intercolumn is often irregular. The surface is abraded in many spots, and loose and dislocated fibres are visible in places; sheet-joins running across the fibres and along the height of the roll are visible in some of the fragments.

Papyrus 135(1): Three fragments with detached fibres and one scrap: the upper contains one column, preceded by ample blank space measuring 80 mm; a sheet-join running across the fibres is visible at the end of the lines; the middle fragment has two columns, the second being badly abraded; the lower fragment contains two columns, the first being abraded.

Papyrus 135(2): Four fragments with detached scraps: the upper fragments contain parts of two columns, the first of which lacks the endings and the second the beginnings; the middle and lower fragments contain two complete columns each, with little surface.

Papyrus 135(3): Three complete fragments, each containing two columns.

Papyrus 135(4): Three complete fragments, each containing two columns, with few small insect holes.

Papyrus 135(5): Three complete fragments, each containing two columns, the third slightly more damaged by insect holes.

Papyrus 135(6): Three fragments, each containing two columns, the first and second being complete, the third badly damaged by holes.

Papyrus 136(7): Three fragments with detached scraps; each of the three fragments contain two columns; the upper fragment is damaged, and the first column lacks the beginning; the others are well preserved, although some surface damage is visible in places.

Papyrus 135(8): Eleven fragments of varying size, a few of which are scraps, containing parts of five incomplete columns.

The papyrus is also known as Egerton Papyrus 1.

Fragments of various sizes from a papyrus roll, written on both sides and housed in three glass frames; the final sheet presumably did not belong to the original roll and was added later.

A papyrus roll of medium quality, originally 3365 mm long, made out of 20 sheets. Each sheet is 155 mm wide on average. Housed in 11 glass cases, named Papyrus 137(1)1-3, Papyrus 137(2)4-7, Papyrus 137(3)8-11, Papyrus 137(4)12-15, Papyrus 137(5)16-18, Papyrus 137(6)19-20, Papyrus 137(7)21-24, Papyrus 137(8)25-28, Papyrus 137(9)29-31, Papyrus 137(10)32-35, Papyrus 137(11)36-39.

The front preserves 39 columns, each of which contains between 32 and 59 lines. At least 2 columns are missing at the beginning. The surviving upper margin measures between 10 and 20 mm, the lower between 10 and 15 mm.

Three columns are written on the back of Papyrus 137(2)4-7, the first two of which were written by the same hand as that of the front, and one column in a different hand is found on the back of Papyrus 137(7)21-24.

The sheets are mounted on cardboard with the exception of Papyrus 137(2)4-7, and Papyrus 137(7)21-24, which bear writing on the back. Unplaced fragments are housed in Papyrus 137(6)19-20, Papyrus 137(9)29-31, and Papyrus 137(10)32-35.
